URGENT ADVICE FOR GALLBLADDER SURGERY

HELLO,
PLEASE SEND ME ADVICE  ASAP AS I AM REALLY WORRIRD ABOUT MY MUM.
SHE HAS HAD A FEW EPISODES OF GALLBLADDER ATTACKS OVER THE LAST 8 MONTHS,HOWEVER SHE IS NOW AT THE STAGE WERE SHE HAS CONSTANT PAIN IN HER UPPER RIGHT ABDOMINAL AREA AND ALSO BOTH ARMS.THE DOCTORS ADVISED HER TO HAVE SURGERY BUT WE WERE NOT SATISFIED AND TRIED HER ON A NON FATTY DIET FOR SOME TIME NOW.THIS HOWEVER IS NOT HELPING ,AND SHE IS CONSTANTLY TAKING PAIN KILLERS NOW.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF SHE WAITS LIKE THIS DOES THIS CONSTITUTE TO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS FOR EXAMPLE COLON CANCER,AND ALSO IF SHE GOES FOR THE KEYHOLE SURGERY NOW WILL SHE ALWAYS HAVE COMPLICATIONS WITH STOMACH CRAMPS AND DIAHRROEAH.AND FINALLY CAN SURGERY BE AVOIDED AND IS IT SAFE TO DO SO?

Hi,
Gallbladder surgery is indicated in these circumstances.
Colon cancer is rare after gallbladder surgery..
Not all patients undergoing surgery will develop complications that you have mentioned.
Regarding the safety of avoiding surgery, it depends on various factors which you need to consult with your surgeon.
